In fact, it is the Tathagata who dominates the western world who really spreads the idea that eating Tang monk meat can live forever. The Tathagata believes that only those who give alms in the south of four continents are greedy for pleasure, killing more and fighting more, which is the so-called crime scene. This is an evil sea. So the Tathagata proposed to spread the three Tibetan scriptures to Buzhou, South Station, in order to persuade people to be kind. But the Tathagata Buddha is worried that all beings there are stupid, slander the truth, don't know the essence of Buddhism, and ignore the authenticity of yoga. The Tathagata ordered Guanyin Bodhisattva to go to the East to find Tang Priest, the Monkey King, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand, and teach him to go to Chung Shan Man. If it is difficult to go to the western world to seek truth, it will spread to the eastern land forever.
The plan to study Buddhist scriptures has been made. For Tathagata, the urgent task is how to make those monsters on the way to learn the scriptures willingly create suffering for Tang Priest and his disciples, and risk their lives to fight the Monkey King, the famous Monkey King. Tathagata deserves great wisdom. He understood the monsters' desire for eternal life and their desire for positive results, so he liked it, and spread rumors that eating Tang Seng meat could make them live forever.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the four rewards. Monsters from all walks of life are eager to try after hearing the rumor that eating Tang monk's meat can make them live forever, and try their best to stop Tang monk's disciples from going west, so that Tang monk's disciples can successfully complete the task of 8 1 year. Of course, in the end, the monsters were busy in vain and made wedding clothes for Tang Priest and his disciples.
If eating Tang monk's meat can lead to immortality is the product of conspiracy theory, then the flat peach of the Queen Mother and the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuangguan actually have the effect of immortality. What are the similarities and differences between flat peach and ginseng fruit? First of all, the flat peach tree grows in the sky, and the ginseng fruit tree grows underground, specifically in Wuzhuangguan, Wanshoushan Town. Secondly, there is a big gap between the number of flat peach trees and ginseng fruit trees. There are 3,600 flat peach trees, 1,200 in front, 1,200 in the middle and 1,200 in the back. There is only one ginseng fruit tree, which is the vernal equinox of chaos. HarmonyOS system first judged that this spirit root was produced before the beginning of the world, and only in Wuzhuangguan did it grow into a ginseng fruit tree.
Third, the growth cycle is different. Flat peaches are divided into three different times: three thousand years, six thousand years and nine thousand years. Ginseng fruit ripens once in 9000, blooms once in 3000 and bears fruit once in 3000. It will take another thousand years to mature, and it will take another ten thousand years to eat. Fourth, the rate of return is different. In the mature season of flat peaches, the trees will be covered with peaches, and the yield is very rich. In contrast, ginseng fruit can only bear 30 fruits in the mature season, and the yield is very low.
Fifth, there are differences in quality. Because of the length of the growth cycle, the quality and efficacy of flat peaches are different. After cooking for 3,000 years, you can become immortal, and your physical strength is light; After 6 thousand years of cooking, you can fly high and live forever; Once eaten in 9000 years, you can live as long as heaven and earth. Ginseng fruit can live for 360 years by smelling it, and 47,000 years by eating it. The effect is basically equivalent to a flat peach that has been cooked for 9000 years.
To sum up, Tang seng meat has no effect of prolonging life, and ginseng fruit is equivalent to a flat peach cooked for 9 thousand years.
